Without the realization of the principles involved in the use of fresh-raw vegetable and fruit juices, one would naturally ask: "why not eat the whole vegetable and fruit instead of extracting the juice and discarding the fibers?"

And even in summer, the use of sunscreens actually prevents us from absorbing this essential vitamin from the sun's rays.
